eBay might be in trouble
Oh well,
eBay might owe $1.9billion if they don’t win the lawsuit.
The summary:
eBay is facing a lawsuit from the DOJ (department of justice)
Why?
for allegedly selling over 340 000 aftermarket emissions defeat devices taht violate the "Clean Air Act"
eBay’s plan?
to defend itself, claiming the lawsuit is unprecedented and maintains a safe marketplace
eBay says that it is removing and blocking “more than 99.9%” of the listings cited by the DOJ.
Crown Victoria collection
up for sale
This guy has a ridiculous amount of cars 😀
Some of them are ex-police and all of them are in great shape
I counted over 20 Crown Vics.
Attaching the video below
The cars from rust-free states like California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, the Carolinas
A gorgeous 67 Mustang

This 1967 Mustang fastback was last out 40 years ago!!!
Rather than restoring it, the guy will be using some of the parts for other restorations he’s working on.

Thankfully no victims!
I hope the dude gets caught.
Here’s the video
⚡️EV⚡️
1/ This one is fucking insaaaaane!
The guy’s electric car went full on rogues - NO BRAKES, ACCELERATOR STUCK….
Police had to block off the roads, then a police van had to get in front of his car and slow down.
Sounds like fast and furious 🤯
How wild!! A quote from the post 👇️
The decision was made by police after 15 minutes, instructing me to crash into back of one of the police vans driven by the police inspector further up the road at as slow a speed as possible on a 60mph road ...
And police van would then brake slowly to force my car to stop. It was terryfying to be in this situation.
The story from the person himself is here.
And below is the reported story in a news outlet.
2/ The Tesla Cybertruck is actually a thing
I wasn’t sure if this was a joke but it isn’t.
Apparently, 2 million people have pre-ordered it so there’s demand.
And here’s a 25sec video if you want to watch it park.
3/ Here’s how tax credit get better for US-citizens in 2024
This is a summary, will link the full article below.
The U.S. government's tax credits for clean vehicles have undergone significant changes, favoring North American-built EVs and batteries.
The changes, introduced on Jan 1, 2023, impact the eligibility criteria for tax credits, including vehicle manufacturing location, price caps, and income limits.
Tax credits now apply to vehicles with specific criteria, including a minimum battery capacity of 7-kilowatt hours, final assembly in North America, and compliance with critical mineral and battery component requirements.
The tax credits are applied at the point of sale, reducing the purchase price of eligible EVs.
Used clean vehicles can also qualify for credits under certain conditions, but they must meet specific criteria.
A loophole allows leasing an EV, having the credit built into lease payments, and buying out the vehicle for under $25,000 to obtain additional credits.
These changes represent a significant shift in promoting the adoption of electric vehicles by making them more accessible and affordable for consumers.
